Trump undertakes most ambitious regulatory rollback since Reagan

Good. Our society is way over regulated. Too many laws. Too many rules. Too much red tape. Too many bureaucrats.*

Not only is it OVER regulated, many of the regulations which burden the economy are written by cronies of various kinds (inside and outside of government) and are designed to hamper competition. The economy needs to be able to breathe to work and to create work for workers.

That sets a far more stringent standard than recent Republican administrations have attempted, experts on regulation said, leaving a slew of Obama-era rules in limbo.

“It’s clear as can be that they intend to reduce the level of regulation,” said James Gattuso, a senior fellow in regulatory policy at the conservative Heritage Foundation, who said the directive marks the first explicit attempt to contain the costs of federal mandates.

“If successful,” Gattuso said, “it would be the first time in a generation,” since Ronald Reagan was in the White House.
